Life Changing
Well life has been pretty crasy for just about every reason you can imagine. I've been busy with Social Security, credit cards, loans, and everything else you can imagine. My diabetes has been in left field playing whatever you ant to call it! Two days in a row now I've been visited by paramedics giving me IV D-50(sugar water). Debbie, Tom, Sara, and my sister, and brother in law having been helping out in so many ways. I feel so strange in my house right now. It scares me to be by myself. I feel like Mike is always there! It's wierd but wonderful all at the same time! Tyler will look up at the ceiling and say, "I see you!" And no one wil be there? I know things no matter how they seem that makes me feel better! I feel like Mike is always around! I've been at the cemetary every day since Monday and have left Mike flowers. Everyone else is being so helpful too! All the support is great and keeping me busy at the same time. I know it won't last forever, but as long as it does I'll appreciate every bite of it! Our pastor from church did a great job at the funeral and at the service as did his assistant Jennifer! With our church family helping with everyone else it's making life more bearable! I'll write more later, sorry for such a long delay in writing.

You are so strong, Ann! Mike will always be there watching over you and Tyler, making sure that everything is all right. If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask James or I!

Thank you Kristin! Maybe sometime soon we can do something? I have to start working again Friday evening at the hospital that'll be hard, but I can do it. I'll talk to you later.
Thanks for everything,
Ann

Ann-

Our office at hospice continues to be prayer warriors for you and your family. I bet it does feel strange in your house, but comforting at the same time. The stress is probably causing your diabetes to go into overdrive. I agree that your pastor did a wonderful job at Mike's funeral. What a blessing for you. Sounds like Mike is right there as your angel.

God Bless you-
Angela Willard

Ann, let me just say it is such a blessing to work with Debbie. Our North team is just spoiled to have her as our Account Executive and more importantly as our friend. Hospice is still here for you anytime you need support or someone to talk to.

Take Care,
Angela

Ann,
I know that Mike is still there. He is right there, in your heart. He will be watching over you and Tyler for the rest of your days. You have to remember to take care of you. Stress can put you diabetes really out of whack. Tyler probably does see his dad. I know he will not forget. Mike loved his son so much. That is all he talked about is being able to see him grow up. One day you will all have a happy reunion. I will continue to keep you and Tyler in my prayers. My husband continues to fight his cancer. It is a hard journey, no matter what the outcome. I am just so glad that Mike does not have to suffer anymore. You could tell by his posts that he was in so much pain. Keep strong and look to the Lord Ann. He has all your answers.
Take Care,
Elaine and Mark

Thank you so much for the card you and Mark sent! I just got it a day or two ago? I wish you and Mark all the best luck in the world with him fighting his battle with his cancer. Osteosarcoma right? It's a hard fight, but it can be beaten!
Prayers and Love,
Ann and Tyler Hauenstein

Mike is Indeed with you

I'm a firm believer that although the physical body leaves, the spirit is still here. Mike is with you and Tyler, always believe that and talk to him Debbie. As for Tyler, yes, I believe he sees his dad. I think children are more open and receptive because their little minds are young and fresh. My granddaughter also "sees" and rather than discourage her, we encourage her and let her talk about what she sees.

Mike has definitely earned his wings and is now your guardian angel...

Ann I hope that things start to get in the normal range for you pretty soon. Your diabetes will get incontrol when things calm down a little bit you are are in a stressfull time and things will go a little crazy. It is scary to start living a new life and be soooo strong but I know you can do it. Tyler in his own way will help ypu a lot. And so will family and friends. I am not very good on the computer,but if Mike can puy his life in a journal on the computer and you can carry his program going we can do ANYTHING. I will continue to check up on you and Tyler. MY love and prayers are with you. KEEP STRONG. Terri (Reyreiver Point)

Now, am I going to have to come out to Ohio and feed you???? From a Type II to a Type I----EAT! Even if you just go out and get those stupid frozen dinners that you can pop in the microwave---although, you might have casserole coming out your ears still!

One day at a time, Ann! This is all so new and there is such sock and numbness. You need to remembe that Tyler needs you to be healthy though. Please take care of yourself!

Much LOVE!
Michelle
